The Hollywood set started the new year thinking they had the perfect plan. After years of watching the ratings crater for their self-congratulatory award shows, they were probably sure this year would be different. The Golden Globes was supposed to be the reset.

For outside observers, the slow-motion train wreck of the "Women's March" movement is a fascinating turn of events. It began like all leftist disasters begin -- the hijacking of an organic effort.

The right to not be destroyed because people don't like you -- the bedrock principle informing all civil rights values and successes -- is being made a mockery of by today's modern liberal inquisitors. Ask comedian and actor Kevin Hart and Heisman Trophy winner Kyler Murray.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a shocking report last week revealing American life expectancy is down as a result of higher drug overdose deaths and suicide.

'You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about," announced Hillary Clinton during an interview on CNN. This after the Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh's Senate confirmation hearings descended into mob action to destroy that man and his family.

For weeks, we've been subjected to the ever-increasing hysteria of the left. The confirmation process for Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh started with the Democrats shouting to the world that he was an evil, mutant offspring of Charles Manson and Pol Pot. Now, not so much.

As the fight to confirm Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court continues, it is imperative to remember exactly who is trying to destroy him and our system. The so-called establishment elite, left-wing groups who hate this country and our system, Hollywood hypocrites, Republican Never Trumpers and, of course, the Democratic Party having been taken over not just by ignorant socialists, but run by adults who know what they're doing is wrong and just don't care.

Watch out Trump supporters! Former Vice President Joseph R. Biden is on the trail and has downgraded you from "deplorables" to the "dregs of society." It's the September before an election, and like well-oiled machines, Democratic leadership crawls out of their basement, ready to instill fear, division and loathing into the American electorate.

We have a genuine chicken-or-egg issue regarding antifa and the Democratic Party's true believers.
